A month after Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, a group of activists gathered on the National Mall for six weeks to live in a shantytown settlement called Resurrection City. The camp is the subject of a new exhibition at the National Museum of American History, and guest host Courtney Collins talks about how the live-in demonstration changed how people peacefully protest with Allison Keyes, who writes about it for Smithsonian magazine.
